ASHLAND, Va. – The nationally ranked No. 19 Ithaca College football team saw its season come to an end at No. 8 Randolph-Macon as the Bombers lost, 46-0, in the NCAA Second Round at Day Field on November 25. Ithaca concludes the year with a 9-3 record.

Ithaca started the game at its own 25-yard line after a touchback on the opening kickoff. IC opened with a 9-yard run by Jalen Leonard-Osbourne, followed by a first down reception by Nicholas Lang.

With a new set of downs, Colin Schumm completed another first down pass, but the drive stalled at the Randolph-Macon 49-yard line.

IC gave the ball right back to the Yellow Jackets as Schumm was intercepted two plays after the touchdown. RMC returned the interception down to the IC 15-yard line with just over five minutes left in the quarter. The lead grew to 12-0 as Hale scored his second touchdown on 4th-and-1 from the 6-yard line with 3:31 to go but the extra point was missed.

Leonard-Osbourne then broke off a 21-yard run on the first snap following the miss. IC then moved up to the RMC 38 on a third down completion to Sam Kline, but the Bombers punted down to the 5-yard line with 8:12 left in the half.
